Caribbean Jake February 22, 2016 Share February 22, 2016 Hello everyone, and old friends; Ocean saltwater calls, and I answered !. After few years (more like 8) in absence from WAMAS due to business, world travelling, and family, I have decided to come back to my favorite hobby !., saltwater eco-systems keeping. I am not jumping in right-away as I am aware a lot of technology and information have/has changed in the past few years. I regret missing the Feb 20th meeting at Oakton High School, but I'm sure there are more to come. I browsed the gallery section and found old pictures of my previous tanks and that was enough to make me come back. The first thing to do is to enjoy looking at everyone's set-ups and gathering information on the trend and particulars of today's systems. I will be looking and I'm interested in a small 30gal to 55 gal self-sustained system to get me back on the hobby until I can manage to work my way back to the 200's 300's gals tank I used to care for. If you have some advise on the self-sustained eco-systems and tanks in the 30g-55g range I would greatly appreciate you pass them on. Looking forward to meet everyone again either virtual, at the next WAMAS meeting, or at someone's show-and-tell (if they are still available). Thank you Caribbean Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Jake February 22, 2016 Author Share February 22, 2016 David., good to hear from you and glad to know you are keeping some of the old corals. I may call you down the road when I'm ready for frags if you are willing to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Jake February 22, 2016 Author Share February 22, 2016 One more question for all you out there! If I was to start looking at small reef-ready tanks, who / where you recommend I start regarding local business with good selections on small reef-ready tanks?

YHSublime February 22, 2016 Share February 22, 2016 One more question for all you out there! If I was to start looking at small reef-ready tanks, who / where you recommend I start regarding local business with good selections on small reef-ready tanks? Glass or acrylic? Quantum Reefs would be my go to (in Springfield) for a nano tank (or I would just keep an eye on the buy/sell/trade area once you become a paying member.) Artfully Acrylic has just started producing some really nice acrylic all in ones, ranging in different sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Jake February 24, 2016 Author Share February 24, 2016 (edited) Go to gallery and search for Caribbean Jake and then click search, then at the next window click search at the bottom of the page.

rioreef February 24, 2016 Share February 24, 2016 Welcome back Jake! Nothing like someone from the past to bring out responses from long time WAMAS reefers in a single thread. I too got corals from Jake back in 2005 but unfortunately, non are with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
